5.0 out of 5 stars An Incredible Collection Of Blu-Ray Releases: A Couple New Collectibles, But Repackaged Movies June 14, 2012

By K. Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWER

Format:Blu-ray

The Christopher Nolan Director's Collection is one of those fabulous Blu-ray sets that very few people will actually need. Nolan is a genius to be sure, but it's hard to imagine that most DVD collectors don't already have one or more of these terrific films. All of the Blu-ray releases in this set are just repackaged versions of what has been available previously, there is NO new actual disc content. Due to licensing reasons, the collection does NOT include Nolan's first film "Following" (rumored to be a potential Criterion release) or "The Prestige." This is still an awesome group of five films, all of which look great in Blu-ray. If you don't own them, this comes with the highest recommendation. As most are familiar with the movies themselves, I will limit my comments to what is included in this item's contents.

In addition to movies, the set has the following exclusive content: 10 Collectible Photo Cards, 40 Page Photo Book and an (up to) $8.00 Movie Cash Credit to see "The Dark Knight Rises" in theaters.

The box has five movies over 7 discs. All of the Bonus Features are from the original releases, but I'll include them here as a reference point.

1) Memento (2000): Here you get the more comprehensive release that was put out for the film's tenth anniversary. Bonus Features include "Remembering Memento" (a 10-year anniversary look back on the making of the film), "Anatomy of a Scene," IFC Interview with Writer/Director Christopher Nolan, Audio Commentary with Director Christopher Nolan, "Memento Mori" (Short Story by Jonathan Nolan), Feature Script, Tattoo Gallery, and Leonard's Journal....

2) Insomnia (2002): Bonus Features include an additional scene, Commentary by Nolan, Commentary by Hilary Swank, production designer Nathan Crowley, editor Dody Dorn, cinematographer Wally Pfister and screenwriter Hillary Seitz. There are four featurettes: Day for Night: Making The Movie, 180 Degrees: A Conversation with Nolan and Al Pacino, In the Fog: Cinematography and Production Design, and Eyes Wide Open: The Insomniac's World.

3) Batman Begins (2005): Bonus Features that include MTV's Tankman Begins spoof, The Journey Begins: Creative Concepts, Story Development and Casting, Shaping Mind and Body: Christian Bale's Transformation into Batman, The Tumbler: Reinvention of the Batmobile, Gotham City Rises: Production Design of Gotham City, the Batcave, and Wayne Manor, Saving Gotham City: Development of Miniatures, CGI, and Effects, Genesis of the Bat, Confidential Files, Cape and Cowl: The New Batsuit, Path to Discovery: Filming in Iceland, and Character/Weaponry gallery.

4) The Dark Knight (2008): This is two discs with Bonus Features that include Gotham Uncovered: Creation of a Scene, BD-Live: An Interactive Gateway to Exclusive Content, Batman Tech: Gadgets and Tools, Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of The Dark Knight, Gotham Tonight: 6 episodes of Gotham Cable's premier news program, and the Galleries: The Joker Cards, Concept Art, Poster Art, Production Stills, Trailers and TV Spots.

5) Inception (2010): This is two discs with Bonus Features that include an Extraction Mode Describing The Film's Signature Moments, Dreams: Cinema of the Subconscious, The Cobol Job: Comic Prologue in full animation and motion, 5.1 soundtrack selections from Hans Zimmer's score, Conceptual Art, Promotional Art, and Trailer/TV Spot Galleries.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't own these now is a perfect opportunity October 15, 2012

By InsurgentTurian

Christopher Nolan is, by far, the greatest director of all time in my opinion. I love all of his movies but because my brother is moving out and taking all of these with him I was looking for a chance to buy them for myself. This box set is a great start to get back all my treasured Nolan films. But let's give a quick rundown.

Memento- My favorite movie of all time. Most unique directing ever. 10/10
Inception- 2nd favorite movie of all time. One of the best concepts of all time. 9.5/10
Batman Begins- Great movie. Love Cillian Murphy as scarecrow. Very well done. 8/10
The Dark Knight- Best Batman flick ever. Joker is fantastic and so is the rest of the movie. 9/10
Insomnia- Not written by Nolan, just directed, and it shows. But who doesn't love Robin Williams as a killer? 7.5/10

All this for $25? I'm in. The only gripe about this box set is no Prestige! I would have much rather of had that then Insomnia. Also need to get Following and Dark Knight Rises. But, like I said, this is a great start.

UPDATE: Just got in in and thought I would review the packaging. It is a hardcover box and the front flips open to the left which reveals screenshots from the inside. All the movies are individually packed with their own bluray cases on the right inside (Dark Knight and Inception come with an extra disc of bonus features). They slide out along with a art book with summary's of the movies a a few quotes from the cast and lines from the movies as well as a collection of screenshot cards from the movies (some really cool ones in there such as a closeup of scarecrow). I would say it has some pretty awesome packaging.

Perfect got in for less than $30.00. Inception alon made it worth it. They should have also added The Prestige on this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome product. January 28, 2013

The movies themselves are fantastic. If you're familiar with Nolan's work, you know it. If you aren't, you'll be impressed.
When I bought the item, it was sold by Amazon and I paid $24.99 for it, a complete bargain.
In the back of "The Dark Knight" blu-ray disc cover, where the movie info is displayed, there's a great artwork: some words look as if they were scratched by the Joker, changing the meaning with the phrases, so it looks like Batman is the villain. It's a tiny detail, but so fun to notice and have it.
The stock photos are good. I'd choose different movie frames to print, but these ones are OK.
There's two tiny things I didn't like: the disc covers are thinner, about 80% of the size of a regular DVD/Blu-ray disc cover. Of course, this is so you can have 5 discs + stock photos + booklet inside one box and save space, but, personally, I didn't like it. And the booklet with photos actually come inside the box, making it much smaller than I thought it was. These two things, I think, are so personal I couldn't lower the rate objectively. It is a 5-star product. The good stuff absolutely outweight these tiny details.
I ordered it from Brazil, and it arrived in less than 2 weeks.
For portuguese-speakers: all the movies have portuguese subtitles, except for Memento. None of them are dubbed in portuguese (thank God).
